“…Positive and significant relationships were found between knowledge exchange and supply chain performance. Ramanathan et al (2014) analyse the impact of the RFID usability features in the UK LSPs adoption of this technology. A positive influence of the RFID usability over the adoption level has been found.…”

The increasing importance of logistics outsourcing and availability of logistics services providers (LSPs) highlights the significance and complexity of the LSP evaluation and selection process.Most existing LSP evaluation and selection studies use historical performance data and assume independence among decision criteria. This paper proposes an integrated logistics outsourcing approach to evaluate and select LSPs based on their logistics resources and capabilities. This novel approach combines a fuzzy decision making trial, evaluation laboratory (FDEMATEL) and fuzzy techniques to order preferences by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS) methods.The new multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model addresses the impact relationships between decision criteria and ranks LSP alternatives against weighted resources and capabilities.The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated through a real case study and a two-phase sensitivity analysis confirms its robustness.

“…It is a type of auto-identification technology and refers to the process of indexing physical object information (such as wood panels and assemblies) and transferring information from the object to interested users using radio frequencies. The technology has gained momentum in various supply chains, including logistics and shipping (Ramanathan et al, 2014), retail (Loebbecke, 2005), Medical (Chao et al, 2007), andMining (Mohd Khairul Nizam et al, 2016). There is currently a much lower level of uptake in construction compared to other industries.…”

The full benefit of prefabricated timber systems in the construction of multi-story buildings depends on integration and efficiency in the upstream logistics and supply chain. The purpose of this research is therefore to determine the potential value that the use of Radio-Frequency Identification technology (RFID) can contribute to the prefabricated construction of timber, and to undertake the basic development of a RFID tracking model for this purpose. The methods used in this study not only build on the knowledge gained from previous literature, but also include interviews with industry experts, field trial design and field trials. The research showed that the RFID tracking system's value proposition tends to be strongest where there are large scale and vertically integrated supply chains, logistics complexity between a limited number of discrete but partnered supply chain links and/or internal logistical complexity problems. Therefore, five distinct added value stages of RFID applications have been found in incoming delivery logistics, factory panel production, outgoing delivery logistics, on-site installation and third parties who can inspect the finished construction work. Application of RFID technology in prefabrication factory environments, where fixed readers can be used in predefined processes, was found promising. However, due to the temporary nature of the sites and the associated investment, the capacity for high automation levels is thought to be more limited on site.

“…As the technology is not well-known or commonly used, companies require careful tests before they make investment decisions (Gladysz, 2014). There has been limited discussion regarding the impact of adopting RFID and how those decisions are effected by other factors (Ramanathan et al, 2014). This study aims to highlight a conceptual framework of activities taken by manufacturing and logistics companies to mitigate uncertainties about RFID implementation.…”

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is still a relatively new technology for many manufacturing and logistics companies. These companies experience uncertainties about RFID implementation, so they take steps to mitigate them. This article presents multiple case studies to design a conceptual framework to mitigate such barriers. The goal of this research was to test propositions that companies: often are not convinced about the maturity and performance of RFID technology; perform typical actions to test uncertainties; and need proof of the benefits of RFID technology before implementation. It was demonstrated that companies conduct proof of RFID technology activities (demonstrations and reference visits) to test RFID performance. These are required to test the technology in operation. Conclusions of this research may serve RFID systems providers and end users of technology by facilitating a better understanding of decision making processes during early phases of RFID implementation.
